Factoring Polynomials I Score: 6/8 Answered: 6/8 square Factor x^2-x square

To factor the polynomial \(x^2 - x\), we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms.<br /><br />1. Identify the GCF of the terms \(x^2\) and \(-x\):<br /> - The GCF of \(x^2\) and \(-x\) is \(x\).<br /><br />2. Factor out the GCF from each term:<br /> \[<br /> x^2 - x = x(x - 1)<br /> \]<br /><br />So, the factored form of \(x^2 - x\) is:<br />\[<br />x(x - 1)<br />\]<br /><br />Therefore, the answer is:<br />\[<br />x(x - 1)<br />\]
